INTRODUCTION 

TO  FIRST  EDITION 

Almost  the  first  work  that  I  did  in  the  railroad  service  was  the 
overhauling  and  re-indexing  of  the  file  in  the  Engineer's  office  in  which 
I  was  employed.  I  have  been  re-indexing  files  ever  since. 

In  1897  and  1898  I  placed  the  files  of  the  Superintendents'  and 
Engineers'  offices  on  the  several  Divisions  of  the  Pennsylvania  Lines 
West  of  Pittsburgh  on  a  uniform  basis  of  indexing,  and  the  results  were 
so  very  satisfactory  that  I  endeavored  to  extend  the  system  to  the 
offices  of  the  General  Officers;  it  was,  however,  found  incapable  of  such 
expansion. 

I  then  asked  Mr.  W.  H.  Williams  to  examine  the  methods  in  use  in 
the  business  concerns  and  railroad  offices,  both  here  and  abroad,  and 
make  a  study  of  the  Dewey  Decimal  System.  The  result  of  his  studies 
is  the  index  now  put  out  by  him  for  general  use,  and  which  has  proven 
entirely  effective  in  the  offices  in  which  it  has  been  introduced.

RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

PREFACE 

Just  what  the  original  method  of  filing-  correspondence  was,  it  is 
difficult  to  say,  but  it  has  often  been  remarked,  for  the  benefit  of 
the  File  Clerk,  that  the  best  file  is  a  "  barrel."  You  know  the  corre- 
spondence you  want  is  there  somewhere  though  it  may  require  a  great 
part  of  the  day  to  find  it.  This  could  possibly  be  improved  upon  by 
threading  a  needle  and  stringing  the  letters  when  received,  thus  insur- 
ing that  they  would,  at  least,  be  in  date  order. 

Some  of  the  English  Railroads  formerly  fastened  together  with  a 
brad  all  the  papers  bearing  the  same  file  number,  attached  a  backing 
sheet,  and  glued  the  latter  to  a  page  in  a  large  invoice  book,  the  volume 
and  page  number  of  the  book  serving  as  the  file  number.  The  papers 
are  pulled  loose  each  time  they  are  needed,  frequently  destroying  the  leaf 
to  which  attached  and  making  it  necessary  to  transfer  the  papers. 
The  books  soon  fall  apart  and  have  to  be  rebound  every  few  years. 
This  practice  has  been  largely  discontinued  though  there  are  a  few 
roads  in  Europe  and  one  or  two  in  this  country  where  such  books  are 
being  used. 

With  the  introduction  of  typewriters  the  correspondence  has 
steadily  increased  so  that  a  receptacle  for  filing  papers  is  not  all  that 
is  required.  In  addition,  there  must  be  some  method  of  providing  an 
index  to  the  subject  treated  in  the  correspondence,  so  that  it  can  be 
readily  located. 

FILE  Durability  is  an  important  requirement,  and  experi- 

BOXES.  ence  has  demonstrated  that  the  cheaper  grades  of  file 

boxes  made  of  paper  are  not  satisfactory.  Document  file  boxes — 
about  8^2  inches  wide,  5  inches  high  and  10  inches  long — which  are 
made  of  wood  or  metal,  while  fairly  satisfactory,  necessitate  folding  the 
papers,  causing  considerable  annoyance  and  inconvenience  in  handling 
large  batches  of  correspondence  which  have  been  filed  for  some  time.

the  side  (as  shown  by  cut  below)— permitting:  of  filing:  correspondence 
without  folding  have  lately  been  introduced  and  have  proved  very 
satisfactory. 


Another  method,  especially  adapted  to  the  Decimal  Classification, 
is  to  file  the  correspondence  vertically  flat  in  drawers,  using:  an  envelope 
for  each  file  number.  Guide  cards  can  be  used  with  this  system  the 
same  as  with  the  card  index. 

PILB  Probably  less  attention  has  been  given  this  branch 

NUMBERS.  of  the  subject  than  any  other.  The  general  practice 
is  to  number  subjects  in  regular  numerical  order  as  they  arise.  This 
is  further  amplified  by  assigning  new  numbers  to  sub-divisions  of  the 
subjects  and  to  correspondence  of  particular  importance,  and,  later,  to 
that  relating  to  two  or  more  of  these  sub-divisions  of  the  same  subject. 
The  File  Clerks  look  upon  the  several  subjects,  or  sub-divisions,  in  a 
different  light,  and  we  soon  find  many  duplicate  numbers;  for  instance, 
instead  of  having  but  one  number  for  all  correspondence  relating  to 
matters  affecting  but  one  city  or  town,  as  say  No.  51  for  all  correspond- 
ence relating  to  Chicago,  Illinois,  the  correspondence  relating  to  sidings 
at  that  point  is  given  one  number,  that  relating  to  depots  another  num- 
ber, etc.,  and  then  correspondence  relating  to  any  two  of  these  subjects 
is  frequently  given  yet  another  number  until  there  may  be  some  300  or 
400  file  numbers  for  Chicago.  Other  File  Clerks  may  give  corre- 
spondence relating  to  each  individual  track  a  distinctive  number,  and 
others  a  new  number  to  correspondence  relating  to  any  one  track  each 
time  the  matter  comes  up  for  consideration;  for  example,  for  a  siding 
built  at  Chicago  in  1880,  instead  of  filing  it  under  No.  51,  it  is  filed  under 
No.  511;  if,  in  1881,  an  extension  of  this  siding  be  requested,  the  corre- 
spondence relating  thereto  is  placed  in  file  No.  555,  etc.  As  a  result 
we  find  in  one  Superintendent's  office  300  numbers,  and  in  another  Su- 
perintendent's office,  25,000  file  numbers.  The  last  named  method 
is  largely  in  vogue  on  the  English  Railroads,  and,  in  November,  1900, 

8 


RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

the  General  Manager's  office  on  one  of  the  Roads  in  that  Country  had 
1,360,000  file  numbers,  though  the  volume  of  the  correspondence  is 
little,  if  any,  in  excess  of  that  handled  in  the  office  of  General  Manager 
on  any  of  the  larger  Railroads  in  this  Country. 

One  of  the  English  Roads  begins  with  No.  I  each  year  and  assigns 
a  new  number  to  each  matter  brought  up  during  the  year,  and  averages 
from  20,000  to  25,000  file  numbers  per  annum.  Another,  while  en- 
deavoring to  file  under  one  number  all  correspondence  relating  to  a 
particular  accident,  assigns  a  distinctive  number  to  each,  and,  assuming 
there  is  an  average  of  three  accidents  a  day,  they  create  over  700  file 
numbers  per  annum  for  this  subject  alone.  The  creation  of  so  many 
numbers  causes  the  subject  index  to  become  practically  useless,  necessi- 
tating frequent  revision  and  increased  clerical  force.  While  formerly 
File  Clerks  attended  to  various  matters  other  than  filing  the  corre- 
spondence, they  are  now  barely  able  to  handle  the  file  alone;  and,  on 
the  English  Railroad,  having  1,360,000  file  numbers,  they  have  ten  file 
clerks,  eight  of  whom  are  kept  busy  locating  old  correspondence,  it 
frequently  requiring  from  three  to  four  days  to  locate  papers  relating  to 
other  than  current  work,  while  in  the  United  States  we  should  look  with 
suspicion  on  the  File  Clerk  who  required  more  than  five  minutes,  one  or 
two  minutes  being  considered  entirely  adequate. 

If  a  matter  come  before  the  Board  of  Trade  or  Parliament,  the 
old  files  are  gone  over  and  all  correspondence  pertaining  to  it  are 
placed  in  a  separate  file,  which  requires  another  index  and  adds  to  the 
confusion. 

While  the  English  Railroads  have  too  many  file  numbers,  some  of 
the  Roads  on  the  Continent  have  gone  to  the  other  extreme  in  restrict- 
ing the  subjects  for  each  office.  For  instance,  on  one  Road  the  officer 
having  charge  of  the  signals  and  telegraph  is  permitted  to  have  but 
eight  file  numbers,  viz: 

Signals  at  Stations  (arranged  alphabetically). 

Signals  on  Line  (according  to  geographical  location). 

Signals,  General. 

Personal. 

Material. 

Supplies  for  Office. 

Affairs,  General. 

New  Schemes.

RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

The  Freight  Departments  of  some  of  the  larger  Railroads  in  the 
United  States,  recognizing  the  necessity  for  some  improvement  in  the 
numbering,  recently  adopted  what  is  known  as  the  Block  System — the 
assignment  of  a  "  block  "  or  "  series  "  of  numbers  to  a  group  of  subjects 
or  a  certain  territory.  They  were  particularly  fortunate  in  having  an 
official  classification  covering  practically  all  commodities  handled  by 
freight  service — some  16,000 — and  in  knowing  the  points  of  origin  and 
destination  for  the  bulk  of  the  shipments  of  each  class.  They  use  470 
basic  numbers,  composed  of  250  items  in  the  official  classification  and 
220  subjects  relating  to  Transportation,  Accounts,  Maintenance  of  Way, 
Maintenance  of  Equipment,  Law,  etc.,  arranged  in  alphabetical  order; 
to  each  of  these  they  have  assigned  100  numbers,  indicating  points  of 
origin  and  destination,  making  a  total  of  47,000  file  numbers. 

This  arrangement  separates  the  correspondence  on  allied  or  kin- 
dred subjects,  two  or  more  of  which  are  sometimes  included  in  one 
letter,  as  for  instance,  the  products  of  mines — coal,  ore,  coke,  etc. — 
While  the  mineral  traffic  may  count  for  but  little  in  the  office  of  one 
Division  Freight  Agent  it  may  embrace  over  one-half  of  the  correspon- 
dence in  the  office  of  another  Division  Freight  Agent.     The  same  is 
true  regarding  grains — corn,  wheat,  oats,  etc.     So  that  one-half  of  the 
correspondence  is  filed  in  500  numbers,  leaving  46,500  for  the  other  half. 
As  about  two-thirds  of  the  correspondence  on  any  subject  is  filed  in  the 
general  number  assigned  to  it,  one-third  of  the  total  correspondence 
relating  to  mineral  traffic  would  be  filed  in  the  general  number,  so  that 
two-ninths  of  the  total  correspondence  is  filed  in  one  number  and  46,999 
numbers  are  provided  for  the  other  seven-ninths,  i.  e.,  13,428  file  num- 
bers are  furnished  for  filing  the  same  amount  of  correspondence  that  is 
filed  in  the  one  general  number  assigned  to  mineral  traffic  on  one 
Division,  in  the  one  general  number  assigned  to  grain  traffic  on  another 
Division,  etc.     While  the  subdivision  of  the  first  forty  numbers  is  the 
same  in  all  offices,  each  office  makes  its  own  sub-division  for  the  re- 
maining sixty  numbers,  and,  as  the  file  number  is  put  on  all  letters  and 
messages,  we  see  "  Replying  to  your  letter  of  the  i6th — my  file  34,650, 
your  file  34,660,  etc." 

Since  the  inauguration  of  this  system,  through  billing  has  been 
established  between  points  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  points  on  the  At- 
lantic Coast,  and  should  through  Trans-continental  Routes  be  estab-

iished—  as  seems  entirely  probable — difficulty  will  be  experienced  in 
providing  proper  sub-divisions  to  show  points  of  origin  and  destination. 

The  libraries  have  had  an  analagous  experience  in  securing  a  suit- 
able classification  for  their  books  which  would  not  be  too  narrow  and 
too  specialized,  but  seem  now  to  Have  arrived  at  a  satisfactory  solution 
of  the  problem  through  the  introduction  of  the  Decimal  Classification 
of  Melvil  Dewey. 

Before  commencing  his  task,  Mr.  Dewey  read  and  carefully  studied 
all  works  bearing  upon  the  subject  and  was  helped  by  more  than  a 
hundred  specialists.  In  1891  there  were  in  the  United  States  4,000 
libraries  with  50,000,000  volumes,  and  one-fourth  of  these  libraries  were 
affiliated  with  the  Library  Association  and  using  the  system  developed 
by  Mr.  Dewey.  Ninety  per  cent  of  the  libraries  that  have  been 
reclassified  and  virtually  all  the  new  libraries  started  in  the  last  five 
years  are  using1  the  system.  He  divided  human  knowledge  into  ten 
classes,  designated  by  the  figures  o  to  9  : 

0  General  Works.  5  Natural  Science. 

1  Philosophy.  6  Useful  Arts. 

2  Religion.  7  Fine  Arts. 

3  Sociology.  8  Literature. 

4  Philology.  9  History. 

Each  of  these  classes  has  ten  divisions,  each  division  has  ten  sub- 
divisions, etc. 

Mr.  Weissenbruch,  Secretary  of  the  International  Railway  Con- 
gress, has  used  the  Decimal  Classification  of  Mr.  Dewey  as  a  basis  for 
providing  a  classification  for  railway  literature,  and  an  International 
Bibliographical  Institute  has  been  established  at  Brussels,  where  they 
probably  have  the  most  complete  railway  reference  library  in  the  world. 
With  the  decimal  classification  they  are  able  to  find  anything  desired 
without  a  moment's  delay. 

There  are  several  objections  to  using  Mr.  Weissenbruch's  index  in 
filing  correspondence,  and  many  reasons  why  a  new  basis  should  be 
established.  After  going  over  the  matter  with  Mr.  Weissenbruch  and 
the  International  Bibliographical  Institute  people,  the  conclusion  was 
reached  that  the  railroad  departments  ought  to  be  used  as  a  basis, 
making  the  sub-divisions  in  the  same  manner  as  Mr.  Dewey  and  Mr. 
Weissenbruch  have  done.

621.2  Groceries.

621.39    Other  Grains. 

The  Naught  is  used  in  all  cases  to  represent  general  subjects; 
therefore,  620 — Freight  Traffic — is  sub-divided  into: 

620.1  Freight  Rates. 

620.2  Weighing  and  Inspection. 

620.3  Routing  and  Billing. 

620.4  Soliciting  Freight  Traffic. 

620.5  Loading  and  Handling. 

620.6  Milling  in  transit. 

620.7  Freight  Bills,  collection  and  credit. 

620.8  Freight  Claims. 

Each  of  these  classes  can  be  further  sub-divided;  showing  how 
easily  the  system  can  be  applied  to  the  most  varied  of  subjects. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  correspondence  relating  to  local  matters  in 
any  one  town  almost  invariably  combines  two  or  more  subjects,  No.  9 
has  been  used  for  providing  a  number  for  each  station  on  the  Lines, 
the  idea  being  that  so  far  as  possible  correspondence  will  be  filed 


RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

according  to  location.  The  correspondence  in  connection  with  im- 
provements in  the  passenger  station  at  Cheboygan,  for  instance,  also 
covers  improvements  to  the  freight  station,  the  opening  and  closing  of 
public  streets,  removal  of  the  shops,  elevation  of  tracks,  additional 
crossing  watchmen,  belt  line  around  the  town,  entrance  of  other  rail- 
roads, etc.  It  is  hard  to  determine  just  in  what  way  any  of  these  mat- 
ters will  come  up  in  the  future  and  a  number  could  hardly  be  provided 
in  any  other  way  that  would  take  care  of  all  of  them. 

All  topics  printed  in  black-face  type  in  the  index  are  further  divided 
in  tables  where  one  may  see  the  sub-heads.  These  numbers  should  be 
looked  up  in  the  full  tables  of  sub-sections. 

*The  advantages  of  the  Decimal  System  as  applied  to  correspondence 
files  are: 

1.  It  can  be  applied  with  ease  to  the  most  varied  subjects 
and  the  most  minute  details  can  be  classified  by  a  few  figures 
which  represent  their  relationship,  and  show  their  depend- 
ence upon  or  subordination  to  one  another. 

2.  When  any  new  topic  arises  it  is  always  closely  relate< 
to  some  existing  head,  and  combining  it  with  the  nearest 
head  by  adding  a  decimal  place  makes  abundant  room  for 
the  new  comer.     The  system  is  thus  capable  of  unlimited 
expansion,  and  can  never  break  down  for  lack  of  room  for 
growth. 

3.  Not  only  are  all  papers  sought  bound  together  but  the 
most  nearly  allied  subjects  precede  and  follow,  they  in  turn 
being  preceded  and  followed  by  other  allied  subjects  as  far 
as  practicable. 

4.  Correspondence  on  allied  subjects  are  sure  to  be  sepa- 
rated, sooner  or  later,  in  every  file  arranged  on  the  common 
plan,  unless  it  be  frequently  re-arranged  and  re-indexed,  and 
the  great  amount  of  labor  involved  renders  this  impracti- 
cable and  very  undesirable. 

5.  Our  small  Arabic  numbers  are  made  to  tell  of  each  let- 
ter or  batch  of  correspondence  both  what  it  is  and  where 
it  is.

6.  While  the  total  file  numbers  recommended  is  quite  large 
as  a  matter  of  fact  the  file  can  be  said  to  consist  of  but  tei 
numbers,  viz.,  o  to  9  inclusive;  the  other  numbers  beinj 
sub-divisions  of  these  ten  general  heads  for  the  convenieno 
of  the  File  Clerk  in  placing  the  papers  in  the  file  in  a  system 
atic  manner  so  they  can  be  quickly  located  when  wanted. 

7.  Correspondence  can  be  readily  located  without  referenc

INDEX.  an  index  to  the  file  numbers,  but  owing  to  the  crea 

tion  of  so  many  new  numbers — making  it  impossible  to  ever  have  a 
index  in  perfect  condition  and  making  it  necessary  to  frequently  re 
write  it — a  more  elastic  index  has  long  been  regarded  as  necessan 
With  the  common  systems  of  numbering,  the  card  index  affords  the  bes 
solution  of  the  difficulty,  permitting  of  the  addition  of  new  subjects  2 
any  time  without  in  any  way  distorting  the  original  arrangement  of  th 
subjects  and  file  numbers.  The  card  index  has  now  been  in  use  Ion 
enough  to  thoroughly  demonstrate  its  many  advantages  over  othe 
systems.  All  advantages  secured  by  the  decimal  classification  with  n 
gard  to  filing  papers  apply  with  equal  force  to  the  card  system  for  ir 
dexing  subjects. 

Its  use  tends  to  minimize  the  imperfections  of  the  old  systems  ( 
numbering  files;  for  instance,  while  in  one  year  1,000  numbers  would  t 
created  on  a  road  for  accidents  and  it  would  be  practically  impossib' 
to  group  these  in  a  subject  book,  by  the  use  of  the  card  index  a 
entries  covering  accidents  are  brought  together,  though  requiring  n 
less  than  100  cards  per  annum  and  1,000  cards  for  ten  years.  It  woul 
greatly  facilitate  matters  to  sub-divide  the  general  subject  of  acciden 
by  filing  together  all  reports  of  accidents  occurring  within  certain  terr 
tory  or  on  one  Division,  and  arranging  the  same  in  date  order. 

It  is  believed  the  correspondence  of  any  Railroad  Office  can  t 
filed  under  the  subjects  herewith,  and  that  no  further  index  is  necessai 
provided  care  be  exercised  to  see  that  cross  references  are  made;  f( 
instance,  while  correspondence  relating  to  legislation  in  Texas  aboi 
right-of-way  fences  would  be  filed  in  .07,  because  correspondence  rela 
ing  to  color  of  signals,  number  of  men  per  train  and  other  bills  befo:

the  Legislature  of  that  State  would  be  reported  on  in  the  same  letter, 
reference  to  these  items  should  be  made  in  the  file  numbers  assigned  to 
the  various  subjects. 

RECORD  OF  CORRESPONDENCE. 

Growing  out  of  the  imperfections  of  the  present  system  many 
roads  use  what  is  known  as  the  "  Record  of  Correspondence,"  being  a 
complete  record  of  every  letter  passing  in  and  out  of  the  office.  Like 
the  "  large  car,"  it  may  be  said  to  have  been  made  to  "  beat  the  rule, 
instead  of  to  meet  the  rule." 

Under  the  present  system  it  is  made  necessary  because — 

A.  There  is  no  systematic  classification  of  file  numbers,  and 
owing  to  duplication,  etc.,  spoken  of  above,  some  index  is 
needed  to  determine  in  which  of  a  dozen  or  more  files  a  par- 
ticular batch  of  correspondence  has  been  placed. 

B.  The  book  subject  index  is  seldom  up-to-date. 

C.  Correspondence  is  constantly  being  sent  out  of  the  office 
(either  handed  to  some  one  or  forwarded  with  pencil  nota- 
tion) without  the  File  Clerk  being  given  an  opportunity  to 
secure  a  record  of  it. 

D.  Correspondence  is  held  out  of  the  files  owing  to  delay  in 
making  reply  to  letters  received. 

E.  Carbon  copies  of  letters  forwarded  are  not  filed  until  an 
answer  to  them  has  been  received. 

These  conditions,  however,  can  be  eliminated  :— 

a  and  b.      By  adopting  the  decimal  classification  of  numbers. 

c.  By  writing  a  letter  instead  of  handing  a  batch  of  corre- 
spondence to  some  one  for  his  information  or  for  addi- 
tional data. 

d.  This  is  only  serious  when  considered  in  connection  with 
"c,"  it  then  being  necessary  to  go  over  all  the  papers  on 
the  desks  in  order  to  determine  whether  the  correspondence 
is  in  the  file  or  has  been  handed  to  some  other  Officer. 

17 


RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

e.  By  making-  an  additional  copy  of  each  letter  requiring:  an 
answer.  For  this  a  special  second  sheet  should  be  provided 
and  stamped  "Copy"  or  "Awaiting  a  Reply." 

With  the  introduction  of  a  systematic  file  system  in  the  Division 
Superintendents'  Offices  on  one  of  the  more  important  lines,  they  dis- 
continued taking1  a  record  of  correspondence,  and  the  taking1  of  impression 
copies  of  out-bound  mail.  In  one  of  the  General  Offices  where  such  a 
record  is  kept,  they  have  not  had  occasion  to  refer  to  it  during  the  past 
two  years,  thus  indicating  that,  with  a  systematic  arrangement  of  num- 
bers and  a  satisfactory  index  to  the  subjects,  the  continuance  of  the 
"  Record  of  Correspondence  "  is  not  justified. 

The  time  now  devoted  to  keeping  up  the.  Record  of  Correspondence 
can  be  utilized  to  advantage  in  other  work. 

The  State  Railways  in  one  of  the  countries  on  the  Continent  under- 
took to  keep  a  record  of  all  correspondence  passing  between  any  two 
or  more  Departments,  or  going  to  or  coming  from  one  of  the  Railway 
Ministers,  and  established  a  bureau  for  this  purpose.  Originally  but 
one  book  was  used,  but  finding  considerable  difficulty  in  locating  just 
what  was  wanted  another  book  was  started  for  "  Important  Corre- 
spondence f'  and  afterwards  a  book  for  "  Very  Important  Correspond- 
ence," and  so  on,  until  now  they  have  six  or  eight  books,  one  of  them 
being  devoted  entirely  to  correspondence  to  and  from  the  Railway 
Ministers.  The  man  in  charge  of  the  Record  Bureau  determines  in 
vvhich  book  each  letter  will  be  recorded. 

They  have  given  up  the  idea  of  recording  all  correspondence  and 
record  only  about  one-half  of  it,  also  determined  by  the  man  in  charge 
of  the  Record  Bureau.  A  number  is  stamped  on  each  letter  as  it  is 
recorded  but  it  has  no  reference  to  the  file  number.  If  a  letter  be  re- 
ceived today  it  may  be  numbered  5,651,420,  while  if  tomorrow  a  letter 
on  the  same  subject  is  received  it  will  be  numbered  5,652,000,  depending 
upon  the  number  of  letters  received  in  the  interim,  and  if  an  inquiry  be 
made  regarding  an  entry  in  the  record  they  go  over  first  one  book,  then 
another,  and  so  on  until  it  is  located,  or  failing  to  find  it,  they  decide  it 
was  not  of  sufficient  importance  to  justify  entry  in  the  record.  There 
is  little,  if  any,  merit  in  the  system,  and  it  certainly  does  not  warrant 
the  expense  of  twelve  or  fifteen  clerks. 

18 


RAILROAD  CORRESPONDENCE  FILE 

The  work  can  be  greatly  facilitated  by  dividing  the 
GENERAL. 

file   into   two  parts — a   "  working  file "   and   a   "  storage 

file" — the  subjects  and  numbers  being  the  same  for  both,  the  corre- 
spondence on  each  subject  for  one  year  constituting  a  volume. 

At  the  end  of,  say  1900,  the  correspondence  for  the  year  1899  in 
the  working  file  would  be  transferred  to  the  storage  file,  a  year  later  the 
correspondence  for  the  year  1900  would  be  transferred,  and  so  on — all 
the  correspondence  for  at  least  the  last  year  being  in  the  working  file. 
In  transferring  from  the  working  to  the  storage  file,  advantage  should 
be  taken  of  the  opportunity  thus  afforded  to  destroy  such  papers,  docu- 
ments, correspondence,  statements,  etc.,  as  have  no  further  value. 
Officers  having  charge  of  construction  work  will  find  it  possible  to 
destroy  from  75  to  90  per  cent  of  the  correspondence  relating  to  work 
after  the  contracts  have  been  entered  into  and  the  work  completed  and 
accepted. 

It  is  very  desirable  that  so  far  as  practicable  each  letter  be  con- 
fined to  a  single  subject.  When  two  or  more  subjects  are  contained  in 
one  letter  a  note  should  be  placed  in  the  file  represented  by  the  minor 
subject  indicating-  in  what  file  the  correspondence  can  be  found. 

If  the  correspondence  be  filed  flat  as  recommended,  a  file  wrapper 
can  be  provided  by  folding  a  sheet  of  paper  twice  the  size  of  the  ordi- 
nary letter-head,  providing  space  on  the  back  thereof  for  the  file  num- 
ber and  the  subject. 

Care  should  be  exercised  in  the  selection  of  a  File  Clerk  with  a 
view  to  securing  a  competent,  intelligent  and  trustworthy  person,  and 
he  should  be  entrusted  with  the  opening  of  all  letters  excepting  those 
marked  "  Personal,"  "  Private  "  or  "  Confidential."  He  should  have  at 
least  one  year's  prior  experience  in  the  office  as  Stenographer  or  Clerk 
in  some  capacity  which  permits  of  his  becoming  familiar  with  the  various 
subjects  covered  by  the  current  correspondence.  The  service  could  be 
further  improved  by  requiring  the  various  File  Clerks  to  periodically 
attend  meetings  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  any  questions  which  may 
arise;  and,  in  this  connection,  it  might  be  well  to  conduct  an  examina- 
tion similar  to  the  examination  of  Trainmen  on  the  Book  of  Rules. 

Where  possible  to  do  so,  advantage  has  been  taken  of  the  Decimal 
Classification  perfected  by  Mr.  Dewey  and  the  Library  Bureau.

8  Claims. 

(01  Northeastern  or  North  Atlantic  States.— (Oil  Maine;  (012  New  Hampshire; 
(013  Vermont;  (014  Massachusetts;  (015  Rhode  Island;  (016  Connecticut;  (017  New 
York;  (018  Pennsylvania;  (019  New  Jersey. 

(02  Southeastern  or  South  Atlantic  States.— (021  Delaware;  (022  Maryland; 
(023  District  of  Columbia;  (024  West  Virginia;  (025  Virginia;  (026  North  Caro- 
lina; (027  South  Carolina;  (028  Georgia;  (029  Florida. 

(03  South  Central  or  Gulf  States.— (031  Alabama;  (032  Mississippi;  (033 
Louisiana;  (034  Texas;  (036  Indian  Territory-Oklahoma;  (037  Arkansas;  (038  Ten- 
nessee; (039  Kentucky. 

(04  North  Central  or  Lake  States.— (041  Ohio;  (042  Indiana;  (043  Illinois; 
(044  Michigan;  (045  Wisconsin;  (046  Minnesota;  (047  Iowa;  (048  Missouri.

Dakota;  (054  North  Dakota;  (056  Montana;  (057  Wyoming;  (058  Colorado;  (059

EXAMPLE:  The  number  for  wheat  is  621.31;  to  indicate  rates  on  wheat,  affix  (1,  or 
621.31(1;  weighing  and  inspection,  affix  (2,  or  621.31(2. 

As  commodities  from  all  points  of  the  line  have  usually  a  common  destination,  only 
such  sub-division  is  desired,  as  will  show  destination,  viz.:  The  number  for  corn  is 
621.32.  To  indicate  corn  for  Baltimore  or  other  points  in  Maryland,  affix  022,  or 
621.32(022.  Ordinarily,  however,  it  will  be  found  unnecessary  to  show  the  state,  as 
the  territory  will  suffice,  i.  e.,  instead  of  621.32(022,  use  621.32(02,  which  would  indi- 
cate papers  relative  to  corn  destined  to  some  point  in  Southeastern  or  South  Atlantic 
States. 

Numbers  for  several  states  are  given,  as  they  may  at  times  be  found  useful  for 

traffic  points  on  the  home  lines.

RAILROAD   CORRESPONDENCE   FILE 


900    Local  Facilities  and  Affairs. 

As  previously  stated,  the  correspondence  relating  to  local  matters  in  any  one 
town  almost  invariably  combines  two  or  more  subjects,  and  No.  9  is  used  for 
providing  a  number  for  each  station  on  the  Lines,  the  idea  being  that  so  far  as 
possible  correspondence  will  be  filed  according  to  location.  The  correspondence 
in  connection  with  improvements  in  the  passenger  station  at  Cheboygan,  for 
instance,  also  covers  improvements  to  the  freight  station,  the  opening  and  closing 
of  public  streets,  removal  of  the  shops,  elevation  of  tracks,  additional  crossing 
watchmen,  belt  line  around  the  town,  entrance  of  other  railroads,  etc.  It  is  hard 
to  determine  just  in  what  way  any  of  these  matters  will  come  up  in  the  future 
and  a  number  could  hardly  be  provided  in  any  other  way  which  would  take  care 
of  all  of  them. 

Correspondence  relating  to  local  matters  other  than  Traffic  and  Accounts  in 
any  town  should  be  filed  in  this  series.  Example,  Main  Tracks  and  Passing 
Sidings,  Branches,  etc.,  should  be  filed  under  general  numbers  assigned  to  the 
respective  divisions;  and  Sidings,  Yards,  Stations,  Ordinances,  etc.,  for  any 
particular  town  should  be  filed  under  the  number  assigned  to  it. 

While  correspondence  relating  to  general  policy  of  Company  regarding 
abolition  of  grade  crossings  would  be  filed  under  322,  that  relating  to  elevation 
of  tracks  at  Chicago  should  be  filed  under  number  for  Chicago. 

The  General  numbers  under  Series  9  have  been  used  to  provide  numbers 
for  each  state  in  the  United  States,  and  for  foreign  countries,  for  filing  corres- 
pondence relating  to  local  matters  at  points  off  the  Home  Lines.  See  page  105. 
The  grand  sub-division  numbers  of  this  series  (i.  e.,  910,  920,  930,  940,  950,  960, 
970,  980,  and  990)  have  been  left  vacant,  it  being  impossible  to  include  in  this 
volume  a  number  for  each  station  on  every  road  in  the  United  States. 

Every  Company  has  assigned  numbers  to  each  Division  and  station  on  its 
road,  for  use  in  connection  with  wheel  reports  of  freight  conductors,  ticket  reports 
of  passenger  conductors,  etc.  These  numbers  can  readily  be  used,  without 

119 


RAILROAD    CORRESPONDENCE    FILE 

conflict  with  the  remainder  of  the  Decimal  Classification,  by  prefixing  the  figure 
9  to  such  numbers.  Example: 

If  the  number  assigned  Chicago  is  416,  the  file  number  would  be  9416,  etc., 
etc. 

Or,  if  desired,  decimal  numbers  can  be  used,  by  using  the  numbers  910,  920, 
930,  940,  950,  960,  970,  980  and  990  for  the  respective  systems,  then  sub- 
dividing each  into  Divisions,  i.  e.,  910  into  911,  912,  913,  914,  etc.  Each  Divi- 
sion can  then  be  sub-divided  into  sections,  and  the  sections  into  stations. 

For  sub-dividing  the  correspondence  relating  to  any  one  division  or  town 
the  following  are  suggested : 

(0  General. 

(01  Employes. 
(07  Ordinances,  etc. 
(2  Accounts. 

(3  Roadway  and  Structures. 
(31  Right  of  Way. 
(32  Crossings. 
(33  Roadbed. 
(34  Tracks. 

(346  Main  and  Passing  Tracks. 

(347  Yards. 

(349  Private  Sidings    (file  alphabetically.) 
(35  Buildings. 

(351  Station  Buildings. 

(352  Engine  Houses  and  Shops. 

(355  Fuel  and  Water  Stations. 
(37  Docks,  Wharves  and  Landings. 

If  but  half  the  time  now  required  for  the  Record  of  Correspondence  be  used 
for  properly  assorting  the  papers  in  the  various  files — arranging  some  alpha- 
betically, others  geographically,  others  in  date  order,  etc.,  the  files  will  be  greatly 
improved. 

The  following  numbers  are  suggested  for  such  correspondence  relating  to 
matters  off  the  line,  as  it  may  be  desired  to  file  geographically :
